Is this still inside the 'tell app "Filemkaer Pro"' block or Entourage tell
block? I do recall something like this inside an Entourage tell block, so I
always use 'alias' with a variable outside any tell block.

If you take it outside any tell block, does

set myAttachment to alias "Disc:Users:Me:Folder_1:Folder_2:myFile.pdf"

or

set myLocation to "Disc:Users:Me:Folder_1:Folder_2:myFile.pdf" -- in
tell block is OK

set myFile to alias myLocation -- outside tell block


really not work? What OS and version of AppleScript is this?
